Hey Hey!
Sorry for the long break, I was having some issues with my fan fiction account as it wouldn't let me log in or out. So everything is alright now so I hope this chapter makes up for it! Thanks again to all who waited :) You know who you are! So just a quick note and recap on this Dark Duelist mumbo-jumbo:
The Dark Duelists are what they're known to be- dark duelists. They invented microchips that disrupt a duelist's ability to duel freely and the microchips play to hurt the other's opponent. Rhia's microchip was given by her mother so that she could live, this certain microchip as hereditary in the Yuki family especially the female side. The Dark Duelists pay a game of consequence; where If the opponent loses they take a permanent damage (ie. blindness, deafness etc.). If the opponent wins, the microchiped duelist takes damage outside the duel and loses ability to withstand the dark influence of the microchip. If the duel ends in a draw, both duelists don't take a consequence but the microchiped duelist takes damage. -That was a quick summary of the dark duelists, microchips and yup. Anyway, onto the story...
Previously...
(Rhia's POV.)
'Gran visited me in my dreams and told me these stories...which all came true. Although...' Rhia looks over to Jesse,
'You...You didn't have a brother, Lina'
Both Lina and Jesse looked at me with curiosity and shock. Entwined with fear. But then we heard footsteps...
'Um...guys, a-are we even allowed in here at this time of the night?' I asked, sheepishly
Jaden and Lina exchanged worried glances, 'No.' they replied as they began to stand out of their seats, Jesse tapped my hand as if he were telling me to get up too. We turned in for the night, all leaving with relief but dissatisfaction due to un-answered questions.
Jaden POV.
It's been couple of days since Lina and Rhia made up and the two have been bonding ever since. A lot has happened; Lina was transferring to Duel Academy and there was news that she and Rhia could share a room beside Jesse, Syrus and I.
It was Wednesday and...I'm happily dozing off. I snapped back to reality after feeling heavy weights at my shoulders. I opened my eyes slightly, spiky, blue hair greeted me. I peered over to see who it was. Or...Who they were. A small, blue-haired slifer with round-rimmed glasses was resting on my left shoulder, happily snoring. Syrus. And to my right, was an older, blue-haired obelisk...Jesse.
The sound of Professor Pemberton's boring lecture echoed in the classroom, he glanced over to me and I could have sworn that I saw him nod. He probably wants me to wake these two up...I thought, smiling...
'Guys, wake up...' I shook my shoulder in attempt to wake them up...
Syrus rolled over whilst Jesse groaned, half-awake. He chuckled slightly as his eyes found Syrus, 'Sorry, Jay'
I chuckled as Jesse yawned, I shook my shoulder once more to wake Syrus up. After a couple of minutes, he eventually opened his eyes and class was about to end. I felt eyes gazing at me and I turned, my eyes meeting Alexis'. She gave me a soft smile before packing away to leave.
I still don't know how to feel about her...
Jesse POV.
Jaden and I walked out of the academy with a sleepy Syrus who was practically limping, I heard two faint footsteps behind us and immediately turned. One blue haired girl ran towards us with a young brunette at her side, Lina and Rhia.
'Hey guys' Lina over-enthusiastically as she slung her arms around Jaden and I, Syrus moved behind to walk with Rhia.
'Hey, Lina. You're in high-spirits today, what happened?'
'Well-' she looked back at Rhia, teasingly...
'She's on a sugar high' Rhia cut in quickly, Lina hid a giggle behind her hand.
'Rhia...' Jaden warned playfully
'What?' She replied, confidently but Lina spoke up after her...
'Rhia has a little crush-'
'-ing story to tell you'
Lina shook her head to her answer. Rhia? A crush?I mean, we're just friends but it did hurt to think so...
'So, let me get this straight, Rhia has a crushing story to tell us?' Syrus repeated, rubbing his tired eyes behind his small glasses.
'No. Not really' Rhia muttered, eyes averted.
'Hey, I know! Why don't you and Jesse go for a walk?' Lina offered, a mischievous smile was plastered onto her face like super glue. (Ouch.)
My eyes met Rhia's briefly before I looked to the ground as my cheeks grew hot, while Lina smirked triumphantly and Jaden sniggered a laugh.
'Well, that's a great idea, Sy and I need to clean our room'
'Wait, hold up...You, Jaden Yuki will clean your room...?' Rhia said, surprised
Jaden fell silent before we all burst into laughter. Jesse kindly encouraged Lina to come along- to which she kindly rejected...
Rhia P.O.V
In the end of all our bickering, Jesse and I took a stroll through the forest.
'I can't believe you would do that...' Complained Lina, sulking behind Jesse and I who laughed at her response. Jesse blackmailed her, I guessed, Lina had her arms crossed.
'Better believe it, sis' Jesse answered, playfully.
'Ah...' I thought aloud, immediately covering my mouth when all eyes were on me.
'What?' The siblings asked at the same time, to this I giggled,
'I understand how people can tell that you're siblings- almost instantly'
'What do you mean?' They asked again, their synchronisation was flawless.
I laughed and waved a hand, 'never mind'
Lina looked extremely irritated.
After walking for a couple of minutes, Lina fell silent as Jesse began to speak to me. I knew she was secretly smirking and giggling but I could turn to glare or warn her. I gathered up the courage to talk to him.
'Does Jaden always use the 'cleaning the room' as an excuse?' I asked, Jesse smiled.
'Often, but he actually does what he says'
'Yeah, You've always got to keep your word'
'You sounded just like him there' Jesse stated, absentmindedly, I felt a little upset but I didn't know why. Jesse looked at me, 'Sorry, I know you don't like being compared to Jay'
I glanced up to him, 'It's fine, but I'm impressed that you actually remembered'
'Well, it's important to know what hurts your friends so it would stop up from doing just that'
That's. So. Sweet.
Our eyes met for a second before I laughed unexpectedly, but he laughed with me.
'Urgh, just Kiss already...' Lina wined, her usual smirk across her lips once more.
Jesse and I quickly averted eyes as we both blushed. Our faces as red as ripe tomatoes.
A devious giggle echoed behind us and I turned to glare at Lina, she didn't stop laughing until Jesse joined in, awkwardly.
'Well, anyway...' Jesse started, but was cut off by a sudden large shadow and the sound of my scream...
